I think it can easily be decomposed in some smaller parts, for example, the following lines ... > + fp = fopen(git_path_bisect_log(), "a"); > + if (!fp) > + return -1; > + > + if (fprintf(fp, "git bisect start") < 1) { > + retval = -1; > + goto finish; > + } > + > + sq_quote_argv(&orig_args, argv, 0); > + if (fprintf(fp, "%s", orig_args.buf) < 0) { > + retval = -1; > + goto finish; > + } > + if (fprintf(fp, "\n") < 1) { > + retval = -1; > + goto finish; > + } ... could be in a function like static int bisect_append_log(const char **argv) { FILE *fp = fopen(git_path_bisect_log(), "a"); struct strbuf orig_args = STRBUF_INIT; if (!fp) return -1; if (fprintf(fp, "git bisect start") < 1) { retval = -1; goto finish; } sq_quote_argv(&orig_args, argv, 0); if (fprintf(fp, "%s", orig_args.buf) < 0 || fprintf(fp, "\n") < 1) { retval = -1; goto finish; } finish: if (fp) fclose(fp); strbuf_release(&orig_args); return retval; } and then simply call retval = bisect_append_log(argv); in bisect_start()...
